Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro Files a Proposed Nationwide Class Action Lawsuit Against Apple Computer, Inc.
Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro has filed on behalf of consumers a nationwide class-action lawsuit today against Apple Computer, alleging the company' new iPod Nano is defectively designed, allowing the screen to quickly become scratched with normal use. The suit claims that the excessive, rapid wear renders the device unusable.
The suit, filed in US District Court in San Jose California, seeks to represent millions of purchasers of the iPod Nano since its introduction in September of this year. The suit charges that Apple violated implied and expressed warranties when it began selling what plaintiffs claim are defective devices, and violated aspects of state consumer protection laws. The suit seeks compensation for purchasers of the devices.
